Kentucky's 51st District State Representative Michael "Sarge" Pollock adopted his nickname in honor of his grandfather, who earned the moniker "Sarge" while serving in World War II. Pollock is proud to carry on his grandfather's legacy through his name - his family and friends have called him "Sarge" since childhood.

He was inspired to run for office to make a difference in his community, and his favorite part of his job is advocating for his district, speaking up for his constituents' needs and concerns. The biggest thing Pollock has learned so far is the inner workings of the legislative process.

His favorite movie is The Outlaw Josey Wales. Pollock's hidden talent is refereeing basketball.
